  1. Very good. I made this for a family dinner and everyone really enjoyed it. My BF's father said that he had some the next day for breakfast and that he liked it even better chilled. I did use heavy cream instead of milk to give it more of a custard consistency. Also, I added 1 tsp. of vanilla as others suggested, however next time I would leave that out because I think it gave it a little too much sweetness. Delicious easy recipe, thank you!
     
  2. Nothing real fancy about this homely little dish, but we will be adding it to our permanent repertoire. An extremely easy to make dish. I switched the quantities of sugar and milk...used one cup of milk and 1/3 cup sugar and it was plenty sweet enough. We subbed a large can of drained mixed fruit cocktail (didn't have any fresh peaches) and added a little vanilla (just because).
     
  3. Miss Annie thank you so much for posting this recipe. It's easy to make and varies really well. I didn't have any peaches so I substituted with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries & strawberries. I also added a pinch of nutmeg and cardamon. It was was so good tart & sweet.
     
  4. This was so cool! I'd never had a pie like this before. I used canned peaches because it's not peach season here and it was so tasty. I can't wait for the fresh ones to try this again.
     
  5. Easy as Pie! This is a nice easy pie recipe. I added a little vanilla and allspice because I like the flavor. I used frozen peaches I picked last summer. There was a lot of juice, so I added a tablespoon of corn starch to help thicken it up. The pie tasted great. I arranged the peaches in the dish and poured the mixture over them. When it was baked, it made a nice presentation.

Tweaks

  1. I did enjoy this. It was super easy once the peaches were prepared. However, the custard and peach juice combined caused a kind of curdled appearance in the custard that I found unappealing. I think next time I'll just make a custard pie and top it with cooked and thickened peaches. I used heavy cream instead of milk and xylitol instead of sugar. Maybe that caused the problem? The baking time seemed to be just right, as my crust was perfect at about 50 min. (I did use an oven thermometer to assure the correct temp.)
